The General Musings of Falkie2013 (George Senda, The Guy From Pittsburgh)

[damon]

Somewhere in Grime. In this udderly ridiculous episode, Hello Kathy tells us how Ratty Patty's dog gave her fleas.  The rest is essentially unintelligible since Hello Kathy has the enunciation of a duck billed platypus.  As far as we can tell, it had something to do with Ratty Patty booking a cruise from a criminal enterprise and attempting to use Hello Kathy's enormous wealth to fund her passage. Senda can be heard bleating and growling instructions in the background, presumably with a baseball bat in his hands.  We have no idea about the location. It's obviously in a low-rent location somewhere. The lack of furnishings of any kind suggest one of the many abandoned buildings in downtown Martinez.

it looks cleaner then falkie's place

I completely disagree.  A group home would NOT be the correct solution for George.  They would only allow him to bring a tiny portion of his stuff with him, AND without his internet, George would become a hermit. IMO.   He needs 24/7 "In Cassa"  Care. Nothing else would work for George IMO.

Brig,
Yea, in Casa Senda care is his "wish"....
and if he had inherited $$
or saved $$
or found $$
or won lottery $$
BUT, HE DID NOT !
so, the BEST SOLUTION for our very own VILLAGE IDIOT is a GROUP HOME
I have researched for George.....
Definition
Group homes for VILLAGE IDIOTS  are small, residential facilities located within a community and designed to serve adults with chronic disabilities. These homes usually have six or fewer occupants and are staffed 24 hours a day by trained caregivers.
Description
Most group homes for VILLAGE IDIOTS are standard, single-family houses, purchased by group home administrators and adapted to meet the needs of the residents. Except for any adaptive features such as RESTRAINTS OF VARIOUS TYPES AND DESIGNS, group homes are virtually indistinguishable from other homes in the surrounding neighborhood. Group homes for VILLAGE IDIOTS may be located in neighborhoods of any socioeconomic status.
Residents of group homes for VILLAGE IDIOTS usually have some type of chronic mental disorder that impairs their ability to live independently. Many residents also have physical disabilities such as impairments of vision communication, or ambulation. These individuals require continual assistance to complete daily living and self-care tasks. Some also require supervision due to behavior that may be dangerous to self or others, such as aggression or a tendency to run away.
Although most group homes for VILLAGE IDIOTS  provide long-term care, some residents escape and are later found ran over by a car...like a squished cat !
History and mission
The development of group homes for VILLAGE IDIOTS occurred in response to the deinstitutionalization movement of the 1960s and 1970s. As psychiatric hospitals closed, discharged individuals needed places to live. Group homes for VILLAGE IDIOTS were designed to provide care in the MOST restrictive environment and to integrate individuals with disabilities into the VILLAGE IDIOT community, reducing stigma and improving quality of life for the VILLAGE IDIOT.  The environment of a VILLAGE IDIOT group home was intended to simulate typical VILLAGE IDIOT life as much as possible.
Since the passage of the Community Mental Health Centers Act in 1963, grants have been available to VILLAGE IDIOT group homes. State and federal funds such as the Medicaid Home and Community-Based Waiver continue to support the majority of  VILLAGE IDIOT group homes. However, some homes operate on donations from private citizens or civic and religious organizations, GEORGE COULD  E AN ASSET HERE ! Most group homes for VILLAGE IDIOTS are owned by private rather than governmental organizations, and can be either non-profit or for-profit organizations. Group homes for VILLAGE IDIOTS are considered more cost effective compared to institutional care. Unfortunately, the number of available group homes for VILLAGE IDIITS has not always matched need, resulting in homelessness or re-hospitalization for some VILLAGE IDIOTS
One of the goals of VILLAGE IDIOT group home living is to increase the independence of residents.  Group home staff members teach residents daily living and self-care skills, providing as little assistance as possible. Daily living skills include meal preparation, laundry, housecleaning, home maintenance, money management, and appropriate social interactions. Self-care skills include bathing or showering, dressing, toileting, eating, and taking prescribed medications.
Staff also assure that residents receive necessary services from community service providers, including medical care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, vocational training, education, and mental health services.  Most group home residents are assigned a case manager from a community mental health center or other government agency who oversees their care. Case managers review group home documentation regarding skills learned and services received, and make recommendations for adjustments in care.
Factors affecting group home success
Initially, many people were skeptical about the adequacy of group VILLAGE IDIOT home care compared to psychiatric hospitals or other institutions. Over the past 25 years, many studies have examined the impact of VILLAGE IDIOT group home care on residents. These studies have consistently shown increases in adaptive behavior, productivity, community integration, and level of independence, NOT LIKELY IN FALKIE'S CASE
Risks involved in successfully transitioning an individual to a group home include psychological deterioration (NOT APPLICABLE IN FALKIE'S CASE)
Group homes are facilities in residential communities that house people with physical or mental disabilities or other challenges,

"ONWARD TOGETHER" to help George realize what is "best"

oh, and "be safe out there"

[damon]

we need to set up a gofundme account for falkie's group home and a home for his cats, also medical care and food for them too. MV can manage the funds

Should we help Kathy to get into a group home too? maybe a different group home so she does not have to worry about falkie beating her or trying to pimp her out.

[Lilith]

I will have to disagree with you brig. In a group home, George can learn money management, get his health back on track, relearn basic life skills like cleaning, and a refresher course in computer skills. also he can learn some cooking skills too. plus he can be with people closer to his age. if the group home management thinks after a while that george can go back into the wild then that will be ok

Also he will learn to tell the truth, how to treat women like a queen, how to deal with so called trolls, and he will have time to do some paranormal research too.

A 24/7 "In Cassa"  Care Worker would be trained professionally to take care of all of Georges needs, and trained in helping him learn to take care of his finances, (or assign a payee to take care of his finances FOR him)  his collection size, his food intake, and cleaning habits etc.,  so I remain unconvinced that your suggestion of a group home, is in Georges best interest. Sorry Damon. I have no desire to try to change your mind, I simply remain convinced that you are totally wrong, and have NO understanding of the man that is George Senda. He would be very unhappy without his cassa, his internet, his bookshelves, and his collections around him, and they would all be gone when he leaves the group home.

What i am saying is that he needs help and a group home will help. I not saying that he needs to be in there for life. just in there until he has the skills to better take care of himself.

I do understand george more then most people think. and he really needs the help. I have friends and family members who are in the mental health field. they agree that he should be in a group home for a while maybe not for life but maybe a year or two

I don't care WHO agrees with you, I don't. I believe that my idea of 24/7 in cassa care would be far more effective, and considerate of Georges emotional needs as well as his physical needs.

he WILL GET THE HELP THAT HE NEEDS  brig. its not like he is going to prison. Brig unless you are coming out to california and take care of george, the tax payers of california will make sure that he gets medical, mental and other support in a group home.

There are professional 24/7 in cassa care workers who do all that.
Unless you see me post otherwise, you can assume my opinion remains unchanged.

Well he does not have one and opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. I still like you but we have to agree to disagree brig.

I would trust the opinion of a Social Worker assigned,  In Cassa 24/7 care taker who decided that a Group Home would be the best solution for George.  Not ALL opinions are like assholes.

Friendship.

[3OctaveFart]

Senda's material needs aren't germane to the care he requires.

Accumulating all of this garbage at the expense of vital things is the problem, not a symptom.

I believe it would require 24/7 in home observation, to really determine what George really needs. He would probably be uncooperative at first, but an in cassa observer should be able to determine if George needs medication for some sort of anxiety disorder, which would then enable him to be cooperative. Who knows what is really at the root of all of Georges problems?  I just believe it would take 24/7 in cassa  professional observation to make all these determinations.  It may be determined, after such observation, that a Group Home would be best for George, I don't know, but I would feel really mean to just throw George into a Group Home, without a professional, who has observed him in cassa for a while, at his side.

An assigned payee would handle all Georges finances, and he would only be given a small amount of money weekly to spend.

I'm no expert, I just know that In Home Care has worked for many people in my building, and NONE have been sent to a "Group Home" ever.

well brig if someone takes a crap then they have an asshole, and if they have an asshole then they have an opinion. the real question is who is paying the person to have a professional opinion or a personal opinion that is the real question.

Brig,
Your heart is in the right place but,
....a VERY CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE to the already OVERBURDENED TAXPAYERS OF CALIFORNIA in my estimation to provide "CUSTOMIZED CARE" up to Falkie's standards is UPWARDS OF $500,000 to $1,000,000 DOLLARS PER YEAR !
....euthanasia would obviously be the most cost effective but...
I ,personally, prefer the Martinez Group Home for VILLAGE IDIOTS

[3OctaveFart]

Onan was a legit mental health professional, or so he claimed (I believed him, FWIW), and said Senda is a textbook borderline personality disorder.

That would require a little more than essentially a babysitter.

I don't know what his root problem is but it's obvious he's at a critical stage of his general illness, and can't keep on going on like this.

I talked to one of my in-building Social Workers, and learned that In Home care (mental, physical, financial, health) is far cheaper to the tax payer, than Group Home care.

[Lilith]

I'm going to go watch Georges podcast of last nights live broadcast now.  Tata for now.

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

textbook borderline personality disorder.

"textbook borderline"

[Inglorious Bitch]

When asked about Kathy Griffin he said that he only knows that she was on that show with Regis.

Senda would not listen to a babysitter or to anyone else.

Brig,
May I point out George is not an "average" case.
You should share and educate your friend concerning George and his "MULTITUDE OF SPECIAL NEEDS"
I stand by my estimate for George's "SPECIAL CASE"
....remember, for a real cost cutting solution, there is a cheap ($15-25) option of EUTHANASIA

"ONWARD TOGETHER"
oh, and "be safe out there"

FRIENDSHIP+++++  Happy!

I'm TRYING to listen to Georges podcast from last night now, so forgive me if I am absent from the thread for a few hours or so.

[Happier Times are Coming]

I understand what you are saying, and I have no desire to waste my time trying to change your mind.   I just think you are totally wrong, and do not understand George at ALL.

oh my, I am worried now...
You are self admitting that you "understand" George ?
....disturbing, very disturbing
I recommend removing this post and never tell anyone that again

[Happier Times are Coming]

I do understand george more then most people think. and he really needs the help. I have friends and family members who are in the mental health field. they agree that he should be in a group home for a while maybe not for life but maybe a year or two

oh no, another person self admitting they "understand" the FAT ONE

[Happier Times are Coming]

George is like gravity....
Some people think they understand gravity...
but, nobody really understands gravity

[Lilith]

oh my, I am worried now...
You are self admitting that you "understand" George ?
....disturbing, very disturbing

No no no, I did not say that.  I have said over and over and over that I think it would take professional 24/7 in home observation to understand Georges needs.

I guess I will have to turn off notifications for this thread for a while, so I can watch Georges podcast from last night lol's

[Rally Squirrel]

I do understand george more then most people think.

In that order?
